We’ve constructed a new, pioneering low-energy teaching block – the first building in the UK to be awarded “Outstanding” BREEAM (2014) for its sustainable design and construction. We funded it fully in partnership with The South Lanarkshire College Foundation, ERDF which provided £700k, The South Lanarkshire Renewable Energy Fund, NIBE, VELUX, Sustrans and SPT. It’s our second low-energy, low-carbon building on our campus with: • outstanding levels of insulation • triple glazing • a rainwater harvesting system • solar panels generating electricity • solar chimneys providing natural ventilation • a ground source heat pump with six 200m boreholes as the sole source of heating. It was opened formally on 24 February 2016 by the Cabinet Secretary for Education and Lifelong Learning, Angela Constance MSP.
We’re one of three colleges in Scotland to participate in a pioneering Scottish Funding Council-led (SFC) Quality Action Learning Pilot. The results will help inform new ways for colleges and external organisations to work together in delivering high quality experiences and outcomes for students across Scotland.
